Shopify Hello World

Name: shopify-hello-world
Author: jeremylongshore

Overview

Minimal working example: query your store's products using the Shopify GraphQL Admin API. Uses @shopify/shopify-api with a custom app access token for zero-friction setup.

Prerequisites

Completed shopify-install-auth setup
A Shopify development store
An Admin API access token (shpat_xxx) from Settings > Apps > Develop apps

Instructions

Step 1: Create Project

mkdir shopify-hello-world && cd shopify-hello-world
npm init -y
npm install @shopify/shopify-api dotenv

Step 2: Configure Environment

# .env
SHOPIFY_STORE=your-store.myshopify.com
SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN=shpat_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
SHOPIFY_API_KEY=your_api_key
SHOPIFY_API_SECRET=your_api_secret

Step 3: Write the Hello World Script

Initialize the Shopify API client with LATEST_API_VERSION (imported from @shopify/shopify-api), create a custom app session, then query shop info and products via GraphQL.

See Hello World Script for the complete implementation.

Step 4: Run It

npx tsx hello-shopify.ts
# Or compile first:
npx tsc hello-shopify.ts && node hello-shopify.js

Output

Expected console output:

Store: My Dev Store
Currency: USD

Products:
  - Classic T-Shirt (ACTIVE, 150 in stock)
      Variant: Small — $29.99 (SKU: TSH-SM)
      Variant: Medium — $29.99 (SKU: TSH-MD)
      Variant: Large — $29.99 (SKU: TSH-LG)
  - Coffee Mug (ACTIVE, 42 in stock)
      Variant: Default Title — $14.99 (SKU: MUG-01)

Success! Your Shopify connection is working.

Error Handling

`HttpResponseError: 403 Forbidden`	Token lacks required scopes	Enable `read_products` scope in app config
`HttpResponseError: 404 Not Found`	Wrong store domain or API version	Verify store URL is `*.myshopify.com`
`ENOTFOUND your-store.myshopify.com`	Store domain typo or DNS issue	Double-check `SHOPIFY_STORE` value
`GraphqlQueryError` with `userErrors`	Invalid query syntax	Check field names against API version docs
`MODULE_NOT_FOUND @shopify/shopify-api`	Package not installed	Run `npm install @shopify/shopify-api`
